The Persian antelope seems to be a
duplicate Of his distinguished American
relative in a general all round sense: he
Is, If anything, wen more nimble footed
than the spring heeled habitue of the
west, possesses the same characteristic
jerky jump, and hoists the same con-
spicuous white signal of retreat. He is a
decidedly Simmer built quadrnped, how
ever, than the American antelope; the
body Is Of the same square build, but is
sadly lacking in plumpness, and he seems
to be an altogether lankier and less well
favored animal. For this constitutional
difference he is probably indebted to the
barren and inhospitable character of the
country over which he roams, as COM
pared with'the splendid feeding grounds
Of the far west. The Persians sometimes
hunt the antelope on horseback, with
falcons and ~greyhounds; the falcons are
taught to fly in advance and attack the
fleeing antelope about the head, and SO
confuse them and rctard their progress
in the interest of the pursuing hounds
and Accommodating.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air passages, but the thousands of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot do half their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, Pneumonia.
catarrh, consumption, or any of the fam
lily of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, all are bad. All ought to
be got rid of. There is Just one sure way
to get rid Of them. That is to take
Boschee's German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at IS cents a bottle.
Even if everything else has failed you,
you may depend upon this for certain.

Tho Thermometer Was on.

There is q suburb of Montgomery called
''Vesuvius, ~ and the population, as may
be supposed, is all colored. Three or four
of us were driving out round the fair
grounds when we came upon two colored
men who were ~wrangling. One had an
open razor in his hand, aud the other n
club, and they seemed ready to fight. We
drove around for half an hour and then
returned to the same gate. They were
still there and still ~wrangling. We took
another direction, drove two or three
miles, and again came back to that point
There was no change in the situation.
They still stood in the middle of the road
facing each other, and their high pitched
voices were still hurting anathemas at
each others heads.
"Sayl' called the colonel, as we drove
up, sis there going to be q fight. hereS"
Eyes, sah," called both men in chorus.
"WhenS"
The query puzzled them for u minute.
Then the older one shut up his razor, put
it In his pocket and replied:

"Using horses on the turf before they
are matured Injuries them" said n trot-
ting man to q reporter recently. "On the
running turf colts and fillies are raced
when two years old. This is injuri-
Gus in itself, but that Is not all, for
they must be trained when only o year
old, carrying riders on their backs, while
the ordeal of training is severe and ardu-
ous. On the trotting courses they do not
begin SO early, yet we have phenomenal
trotters that are only three years old, and
their number is increasing. Unless breed

"The Queens Pipe"

In the center of the tobacco ware
houses ut the London docks there is an
immense kiln, which is kept continually
burning, day and night, and goes by the
name of h queens tobacco pipe. The
English government has q different way
of treating confiscated articles than that
in use in this country, one of them being
to utilize them as fuel for what is termed
the queens smoking. Whenever mer-
chandise is seized for nonpayment of
duty, or because it is considered under
the law IS in a damaged or unstable
condition, it is taken to this great kiln
and burned there, the owners having no
remedy. The only utilization that is
made of these seizures is from the sale of
the ashes from the furnace, which, to
the amount IF a great many tons a
month, are sold by auction to chemical
works, and to farmers and others to be
used in enriching the soil. There is a
similar but smaller queens tobacco pipe
in the government tobacco warehouses
at Liverpool, these two forming the
points of destruction for all confiscated
merchandise in the United Kingdom

Carlyle referred to Dickens as an actor,
having seen him in one of his amateur
performances. He gave it as his opinion
that Dickens genius was essentially his
trionic and mimetic; that with his faculty
of keen and minute observation, his
general alertness of mind and body, his
mobile power of gesture and expression,
he had all the requisites of a successful
actor, and that had he lived at a great
period of the drama, in the Elizabethan
age for instance, his genius would have
found its appropriate outlet on the stage.
He would have become a popular comic
actor, writing a humorous piece now
and then, perhaps, as was the custom of
such actors in those days. But while
living under different conditions and
working with his pen, his books still re-
tanned and revealed the native genius of
their author. They had the sustained, if
rather jerky, liveliness, the pleasant
tricks and mannerisms of humorous por-
traiture upon the stage. He was, in
short, a born actor.-The Athen@up-

United States crude yields about x

It has been my good fortune in u long,
unbroken life Of work to be thrown much
in contact with men Of affairs. Every
presidential candidate from the time Of
Buchanan and Fremont, through the
stormy periods of our nations struggle,
and In the happier days, when contests
were ended, / have seen, I INV known.
Political leaders Of the great parties /
have met and talked with. The leading
divines, the chief orators, our best law
yers, and men who grace n Others who
disgrace the bench, l have seen and met
in close communion, and my sober judg-
ment is that not ten per cent. Of them
were graced with this happy, sunshiny
disposition, which goes SO far toward
making their own lives sweet, while radi-
ating comfort, happiness and good cheer
in the circles of which they are so often

One of the greatest sufferers in that
way was Abraham Lincoln.
To be sure he had upon himself from
1850 until the day OF his death RESPONSE

any man this side of a hero, but imagine
for a moment Abraham Lincoln with all
his grand qualities permeated by O vein

became moro gloomy-not morose, but
apprehensive-and matters vast and ire

Grant had, 1 think, the selfish, the in

He was good natured If he was ''let

will be said, it was gained.

Queen 1.ab6lla's Violet diamonds.

A firm on John street showed me the
most brilliant and beautiful diamonds 1
have seen in n long time. They were
once the property Of that famous Isabella,
queen of Spain. They are called tho violet
diamonds. In the store they looked the
steely blue white that fine diamonds
ought to be, but taken to the door they
were really a distinct violet. They are
unset Mt present, but used to be q pair of
car drops. In the exhibition Was n watch
of ancient make, which has u movable
tableau upon it. Cupid Is sharpening his
arrows ut the forge of Vulcan, while
Venus n other NEUROLOGICAL celebrities
look on. When the watch is wound the
god ut the bellows begins to pump, Vul-
can ut the anyil strikes it, n tiny chain
hat looks like running water runs over a
wheel to initiate n cascade, while Venus
mans her arm and Cupid brandishes q bow.
The workmanship is extremely fine and
lhc little watch is very valuable. Among
Vie articles formerly belonging to Isabella
IS q collection of different colored dia
munds. There are black, amber colored,
pink, sanguinary red ones almost like
rubics, gray ones nnd the famous violet
pair. The old lady had n great fancy for
icwclry. As many as n dozen sets Of diff
